2008 Sports and Dance Camp Counselors

Counselors have the opportunity to work with youth from all over the country and make a positive impact in their lives. We are looking for individuals who are sociable, responsible, and like to work with youth. No athletic or dance experience is required, as Counselors interact with the participants when they are not at their sports and dance practices. Before applying, please read the following general information.

Duties for Regular Counselors
As a Counselor, you will help out during Monday morning registration (times will vary according to your specific camp). You will be assigned a group of participants for the week, whom you will supervise and interact with during the evening activities.
